| RE: [cdt-dev] Feedback on "Multiple Tool Inputs and Outputs design" |
|
Hi Chris, Thanks for the review and comments. >InputDetail Schema >Just a comment: although I can
imagine some interesting ways of utilizing it, >I don’t know how much people are
going to use the Input etail element in their >toolchain plugins as a static definition.
This is probably the source of some >of Lars’ confusion. I am
assuming Leo is not really intending this element >for this purpose and really this is
intended for use as an internal model >element which is going to be utilized
by some sort of “link order properties >editor” type thing. The idea is
that this element would be created on a per- >resource basis prior to project build
as the user changes the settings on >various source files to exclude them
from build, customize their link order, >etc. That's exactly right Chris. That can be
done since the XML schema in the manifest file (plugin.xml) and the XML
schema in the project file (.cdtbuild) are identical. >Q: What are we doing to provide for a
default GUI for editing the input >ordering? I haven't thought about it yet, but it
will support: - ordering some or all of the files - excluding files >OutputType Schema >Re: the “option” element,
what happens if I specify null? Does this still put >the name of the output on the command
line? A lot of our tools will >automagically name the output files
based on the output file and don’t allow >you to specify the output name of
these files, so not only can you not provide >the filename with a flag, but you
can’t provide the name at all as this is >illegal usage of the tool. Would it meet your needs if
primaryOutput=False and option not specified meant to not add the output file to the
command line at all? Regards, Leo From: cdt-dev-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx

them): InputDetail
